Pre-Testing

1. Remove intercom system from shipping box. The

intercom will have wiring between the elevator unit and
the lobby unit.
2. Plug the AC power supply into an AC outlet and connect
the 9-volt battery to its battery snap.
3. Take the elevator unit into an adjoining room and close
the door.
4. The person at the lobby panel should press and hold the
push-button.
5. There should be 2-way conversation between the two
units and the LED on the front of the lobby panel should
turn on.
6. Check each elevator unit in the same manner.

Installation
1. The intercom requires one pair of wires for each elevator
from the lobby panel to the elevator unit. The intercom
system requires 110 volts to trickle charge the battery.
The wiring from the AC wall plug can be extended as
needed to get to the nearest outlet or to go to the
Machine Room. Connectors are provided.
2. Install the elevator unit on the ceiling using the mounting
holes provided in the galvanized box. The elevator unit
can be mounted behind a speaker grill in the car return.
(3.5-inch minimum speaker pattern required). The
galvanized box will need to be removed from the elevator
intercom.
3. Install the lobby unit using the bracket if needed.
4. Connect the AC power to the Lobby unit.
5. On Simplex installations, connect one pair of wires
between the TELCO connector of the Lobby unit and the
TELCO connector of the elevator unit. This connection is
polarity sensitive so be sure to connect No. 1 connections
together and No. 2 connections together.
Note: On Duplex, Triplex, Quadruplex, there will be a
European connector at the Lobby panel with a pair of
connections for each elevator. When you connect the wiring
at the TELCO connector on the elevator unit, be sure that
the positive voltage is connected to the No. 2 side of the
connector. Positive and negative are marked on the board.

Troubleshooting
1. Make sure that lobby unit is getting power from the wall
transformer by checking the voltage on the battery snap
that is plugged into the battery snap that is soldered on to
the board. This snap is labelled “Connect to battery snap
on HF phone”. WITH THE PUSHBUTTON PRESSED-
there should be positive voltage on the male side of the
connector and negative voltage on the female side. If the
polarity is not correct reverse the wires coming from the
wall transformer.
2. Check to see if power is getting to the 9-volt battery by
unplugging the battery and measure voltage on the
battery snap labelled “Connect to battery”. WITH THE
PUSHBUTTON PRESSED-there should be
approximately 9-13 volts DC with positive voltage on the
female connector and negative voltage on the male
connector. If the polarity is not correct reverse the wired
coming from the wall transformer.

3. If the red LED is not turning on check to make sure that

when the button is pressed that you get approximately 9-
13 volts DC voltage at the battery snap that is soldered to
the PC board.
4. WITH THE PUSHBUTTON PRESSED-there should be
approximately 9-13 volts DC on the TELCO connector on
both the lobby and the elevator units. Make sure that
polarity is correct-positive voltage on the no.2 and
negative on no. 1 connector. The CMU intercom in the
elevator cab does not require a 9-volt battery.
5. You can test each PC board individually and without any
field wiring connected by attaching a 9 volt battery to the
battery connector that is soldered directly onto the PC
board and plugging a modular tone phone into the black

6
 jack on the back of the board. You should be able to
communicate through the handset to the PC board.
6. On all multi-elevator installations check the voltage at the
European connector for each elevator. When the push
button is pressed for that particular elevator there should
be approximately 9-13 volts going from the battery to the
lobby PC board and then fed out through the TELCO
connector through the switch being pressed and then out
through the European connector pair going to that
particular elevator unit.
7. If you are experiencing broken communication try
adjusting the R14A potentiometer (microphone sensitivity
potentiometer) between 1 to 3 o’clock positions while
speaking to the other unit. Do not adjust this pot all the
way in either direction.
8. If the sound output of the speaker is Low on the unit try
adjusting the R13 (VOL.) potentiometer counter-
clockwise to the max.
